## Summary

Kent County Council, trading as Procurement Services, procured multifunction devices and digital solutions for its requirements. The awarded purchase is classified as goods and specifically covers printers and plotters. The procurement was managed by Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement relates to one procurement lot and is associated with a framework arrangement. The title indicates a broader combination of multifunction devices and digital solutions, while the recorded awarded item identifies printers and plotters as the defined product category. This is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors, managed print providers and technology suppliers able to provide business printing equipment and associated digital solutions to a local authority buyer. The purchasing organisation is based in West Malling, Kent.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure as a below-threshold award under a framework. The process was non-competitive at this stage. One lot was completed. Ricoh UK Limited received the active award, and the contract was signed on 22 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £85,952. The award covers the recorded printers and plotters requirement. The procurement was evaluated and concluded through the framework award route rather than an open competition for this call-off. The outcome demonstrates a three-year local-authority requirement for multifunction device and digital-solution goods, with Ricoh UK Limited selected as the supplier.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to supply printers and plotters as part of a multifunction-device and digital-solutions offer suited to a county council. Relevant businesses include equipment manufacturers, authorised distributors and managed print or workplace-technology providers with the capability to support a public-sector framework route. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating that capacity to fulfil a multi-year authority-wide goods requirement may be important. Suppliers should be able to present a coherent product range rather than a single standalone device, and demonstrate dependable delivery and account management for a local-government customer. Experience of framework awards and below-threshold call-offs would also help a competitor compete effectively when this buyer next considers a comparable requirement.
